administration opposed cispa on privacy grounds mainly. this time around, a lot of it is centered on the liability protections that are contained in the bill. obviously businesses have some reluctance to give up cyber information, especially when shareholders are concerned. a lot of what they're worried about is they could be sued by shareholders or the broader public for giving up this information to the government. and so one of the things that companies have been insisting on are strong liability protections to make sure that they've been somewhat protected from lawsuits. the white house, on the other hand, thinks that those protections that are already written into the bill are just a little bit too strong and ideally, the obama administration says those would be curtailed a little bit. >> john: it will be fascinating watching how this thing plays out. technology correspondent for the "national journal," ryan fung, thank you for your time and expertise on this issue and for educating the rest of us about it. hope to have you again. >>

when you want to cheer when the obama administration kills people around the world then you have to expect that that kind of violence will come to u.s. soil as well and not be chalked when it does. >> john: are we looking at a case of just people, men ignoring their own religious texts to do what they want and kill who they want to kill? >> sure, i mean, you can find provisions in the new testament in the qur'an, and the tall mid that justified violence and war as long as it's self defense. you can find provisions in all of those. people have done so. they may not be valid arguments but people are capable of interpreting text however they witch. but i think you're right human nature is such that if they perceive that they're being attacked engageing in democratic processes imprisons people, it's human nature that you're going to get where you can't tolerate it any longer and you'll fight back. it's also ultimately justification what is very human behavior of engaging in violence against those who are engaging in violence against you. >> john: glenn, before we go, america is out of iraq, al

administration. we have something like 2200 osha inspectors for the entire country. if you were going to inspect every plant it would take 129 years for each plant to be inspected. that's not acceptable. >> john: is that the reason why they got away with it? i appreciate this is the defining argument of our times. are you going to have government oversight or are you going to allow the free market to take care of themselves. why do you think they were able to get away from inspections for so long. >> when we cover the facts on the ground, and we give names and faces to stories like this. this is not just an abstract story of policy, what we have to do in the media is show that when you have deregulation we're talking about the taking of lives, and that matters. and we need a media now that covers this in a regular basis the people of west, texas, are devastated. i don't see that changing unless--and it's not just republican or democrat thing. you have governor perry, a well- well-known republican gov

franciscus, i hate to say this, but i'm afraid your right and many of president obama's actions bear this out. do you remember a time when habeas corpus was a basic right. if you have a comment for the show tweet us at "viewpoint" ctv or john fugelsang or use the hashtag "viewpoint" or post it on our facebook page. the memory of your average american is shorter than a mickey rourke comeback. and so we shouldn't be surprised when the results of a new poll conducted this week in anticipation of tomorrow's opening of the george w. bush lib, 47% of voters have a favorable view of his presidency and 50% disapproving of the job he did. so the economy really is getting better. this when bush left office in january of 2009 when his approval rating was 33% positive and 66% negative pitch. at this rate we'll look back at the bush presidency with 100% approval, but fortunately we'll be dead by this. i have act with me actor and comedianco-immediate rain pryor author of the book "jokes my father never taught me: life love and loss with richard pryor," and comedian dean obeidallah, creator of the
